Who can command that death retreat?
Who can shut tight its jaw?
Who can Satan, of victory cheat?
And close to man hell’s door?
Who can present Salvation’s Dove?
Who can declare He’s mine?
Who can measure God’s perfect love?
And wisdom so divine
Who can direct The Light on high?
Who can reproach God’s Son?
Who can repeal the day to die?
Or change what must be done
Who holds hell and death at bay?
Who says where each must go?
Who can purchase a single day?
Hinder life’s ebbing flow?
Who can prolong a beating heart?
Decree its rate of pace
Command when stopped, again to start
Give hope the human race
Who tells Salvation’s wind to blow?
Who lifts us when we fall?
Who planned the route where blood should flow?
Where life or death should call?
The answers lie in selfless death
Obedience on a tree
The gift of life, eternal breath
The truth on bended knee
Creation waits The First & Last
Wise eyes explore the sky
So is today as in the past
Yet fools still wonder why…P.T.O.
